I recommend switching to the latest command line tools + Android SDK. This means that you need to download a new SDK. You can keep the previous one as well.

Instructions:

1. Download command line tools v6609375: https://developer.android.com/studio#command-tools
2. Unpack in C:\Android
3. Download additional resources: https://b4xfiles-4c17.kxcdn.com/b4a/resources_9_20.zip
4. Unpack in C:\Android. It should look like this:
   
   
   
   
   
   
5. Set android.jar path in the IDE to: C:\Android\platforms\android-30\android.jar
6. Note that you don't need to run B4A Sdk Manager at all. All the required components are included. If you do want to run the emulator then start Tools - B4A Sdk manager, install the recommended items and create a new AVD.

Looks like the OkHttp 3.14.9 update requires a minimum SDK of API 21 (Android 5). I get crashes for API 20.

Hi Erel

When we change the name of a view with the ( rename to: ) option, if this view is in the designer, its name will not be changed?
Is it possible to consider this option in the update?
Thanks

 

[Erel]

Is it possible to consider this option in the update?

No. The beta is closed to new features.

[Erel]

Yes.

I've read through the posts regarding various beta errors and have yet to see this one. Note that I have downloaded both the resource and command line zip files, extracted into empty folders using zip and 7zip extractors. The SDK files have been updated. The android.jar file has correct pointer. Also, be advised that the Android Studio emulators work perfectly.
Any ideas?

You are still using the old SDK. If you are unable to solve it then please start a new thread.
